I'm happy to report that changing the versions of
several packages, including going back to an
earlier version of festival, seems to have fixed
the problem.

My test script

    counter=0; while echo $counter | festival --language americanenglish -b 
--tts ; do counter=$(( counter + 1 )) ; done ; echo Crashed after $(( $counter 
-1 )) runs.

just completed a thousand iterations on the first try.

libmad0-dev*        0.15.1b-1               0.15.1b-2.1


I'm inclined to think that the package names
marked with "*" are unlikely candidates for the
bug, mostly because I suspect festival still
aborted after they were changed.

I suggest keeping this bug report open for a
while, or until the exact bug is identified.

Thanks,
Kingsley
